Custody, visitation and grandparents? rights in Texas family law:
Texas is strict when it comes to the fundamental rights of parents. When the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2005 in the case of Troxel v. Granville, that parents have a fundamental right to raise their children without interference, the rights of grandparents were implicated. In Texas, one of the strictest states for grandparents seeking rights to grandchildren, there are limited situations in which a grandparent can get court-ordered conservatorship, possession and access of a child.
